All the penalties Messi, Neymar and Suarez have taken in Lucho's era
They continue failing to take advantage of opportunities, having missed 15 between them from the spot
And at the third penalty, it was back to reality. Neymar missed a spot kick against Manchester City and Barcelona were haunted by the ghosts of last season. It never fails to surprise that Messi, Neymar and Suarez, three killers in the box, have problems from penalties. They have taken 38 and scored just 23 (since they have been playing together). Of the 15 missed four have ended up in goals after being saved or hitting the post, etc.
These are the penalty stats in Luis Enrique's era as coach. The first number is taken, then in brackets is those scored and missed over each season.
This season had started well. Messi scored a penalty against Leganes, while Neymar did the same in Vigo against Celta. Then came City...
It ended a good run, with Barcelona having netted the last four of last season too - it was March 12, Messi vs Getafe the last time they missed.
